44Dynamic route guidance with TMC

The TMC function on the TravelPilot EX-V enables the system to use dynamic routeguidance to avoid traffic congestion. The TravelPilot EX-V analyses incoming TMCtraffic messages, adapts the planned route to the current traffic situation, and displaystraffic reports symbolically on the map display.

Plus Point: The TravelPilot EX-V always calculates the optimum route interms of travelling time; i.e. if a detour around traffic congestion increasestravelling time significantly, the TravelPilot EX-V would remain on the routepassing through the traffic congestion under certain conditions. This de-pends on what kind of traffic congestion has been reported and how long it isand on how long the possible detour is.

Dynamic route guidance is only possible when the TravelPilot EX-V is connected to aTMC receiver.

TMC receivers include the “TMC D-Namic tuner box”, which was specially developedfor the TravelPilot EX-V, and a number of Blaupunkt car radios.

Please contact your authorized Blaupunkt dealer or ring the Blaupunkt telephone hot-line (the hotline number is listed on the last page of this instruction manual) to find outwhich Blaupunkt car radios can be used in conjunction with the TravelPilot EX-V.

Plus Point: If you do not have a “TMC-Tunerbox D-Namic” or a suitable Blau-punkt car radio, you can enter a detour manually to avoid traffic congestion.For further details, read the “Using the traffic congestion function” section inthe “Route guidance” chapter.


45

Switching TMC on/offThe TMC function is switched on or off in the Route options menu. For more informa-tion, refer to the section on “Selecting route options”.

Selecting the TMC station with the TMC D-Namic tuner box

Plus Point: The “TMC D-Namic tuner box” will automatically tune into theTMC station you have selected (preferred station). This means that after youleave the reception area served by your preferred station (the system willtune into a different TMC station) and return to this reception area again lat-er, this is the station that will be selected even if other TMC stations areavailable. This intelligent switching function means that the station indicationmay change frequently in the reception area as well. This ensures that youalways receive all of the traffic information which is transmitted by the TMCstations within reception range.

NoteIf, during route guidance, you tune into a station on the car radio whichdoes not transmit TMC data or if you leave the reception area of the TMCstation, dashes will appear in the display in place of the station name. Inthis case it will not be possible to receive traffic information. If you wantto receive traffic information, it will be necessary to start TMC seek tun-ing for the TravelPilot EX-V again.



47

Calculating the route with TMC while route guidance is inprogressThe traffic messages are transmitted by TMC stations along with their regular pro-gramming. If a traffic message affects the route calculated, then a new route to theselected destination will be calculated automatically. You will hear the following voiceoutput: “The route is being calculated taking traffic reports into account”.

NoteThe TravelPilot EX-V always calculates a time-optimized route. This meansthat if the reported traffic problem were to involve too long a detour, theTravelPilot may decide not to calculate a diversion at all and instead leadyou through the traffic. This behaviour depends on the length and type oftraffic problem and the length of the possible detour.

Displaying traffic messages

Displaying on the map

The received traffic messages are displayed on the map using different icons and adashed line. If the traffic obstruction lies along the route calculated by the navigationsystem, the traffic congestion symbol is displayed with a red border.

Compatible navigation DVD-ROMs

The TravelPilot EX-V can only be used with navigation DVD-ROMs that are labelledwith a “EX”. If no DVD-ROM is inserted in the unit, a message informing you of thisappears in the display.

NoteThe navigation system is not designed for use with DVD-ROMs that youhave burned yourself. Any faults or limitations to navigation perform-ance as a result of this are not covered by the guarantee.

Care tips for DVD-ROMs

If a DVD-ROM becomes dirty, never clean it using a circular motion but always fromits centre to its outer edge using a soft lint-free cloth. If the DVD is very dirty, werecommend you wash the DVD using standard washing-up liquid. Again, when wash-ing the DVD, never clean it using circular movements but always wipe it from its cen-tre to its outer edge and leave it to dry.

We also recommend that you handle both the under and upper sides of the DVD withcare, since the structure of the DVD is such that the information layer is located direct-ly beneath the printed layer (i.e. label side).


75

Some comments regarding questions on reading quality:

A dirty or damaged DVD can lead to difficulties when reading the DVD. The severity ofthe reading error depends on the amount of dirt present and the severity of the phys-ical damage. Severe scratches cause “read errors (data errors)”, which lead to theDVD jumping or getting stuck during playback. All DVDs must be handled with careand always placed in a protective case when stored.

80Glossary

Dynamic navigation

Dynamic navigation is possible if the navigation system is con-nected to a TMC source. The TMC data are sent to the naviga-tion system. The navigation system analyses the information it-self and takes the traffic flow, traffic congestion length and legalspeed limit into account when working out a new time-optimisedroute.

GALA

The automatic volume adjustment feature adjust the volume tosuit the speed at which you are travelling. As your speed in-creases, so too does the level of noise inside the vehicle. Thenavigation system therefore adjusts the volume of the voice out-put automatically. You can set sensitivity of this adjustment fea-ture.

GPS

The Global Positioning System is a system of satellites devel-oped by the United States ministry of defence for determiningyour position anywhere in the world. Under ideal circumstancesthe system’s precision is below 10 m.

Gyro

The gyro (gyroscope) is integrated in the navigation system. It isused for determining changes in direction when taking turningsor driving along bends.

Positioning

To ensure that the navigation system provides the driving rec-ommendations at the right time, the position of the vehicle onthe road network must be determined very precisely. Sensorsdetect the route being travelled along, the direction of travel andchanges in direction. The position of the vehicle is tracked byway of a GPS satellite receiver. The information from these sen-sors is constantly compared to the course that the road takesaccording to the digital map on the DVD-ROM.

TMC

The Traffic Message Channel is a digital traffic information datachannel that is used for broadcasting consistently up-to-date dataon the current traffic situation.

The TravelPilot is equipped with an automatic calibrationfeature which is required to determine the current vehicleposition. Depending on the GPS reception available, thecalibration is completed after the vehicle has been drivenapprox. 15 km. Driving along a winding route (in the city),which is indicated on the monitor on a map, accelerates thecalibration.

The speedometer signal connection in the vehicle allows thesystem to determine the distance driven. If there is no speed-ometer signal, it will be necessary to have a route sensor in-stalled by an authorised customer service centre.In this case, you will have to order a sensor kit (route sen-sor, magnet strips, bracket, plug and installation instruc-tions) from your dealer.Order No.: 7 607 611 093

Installation

Installing the navigation unit

Where to install the navigation unit

The TravelPilot EX-V can be installed in the car radio compart-ment in the vehicle (installation depth 218 mm). You will needan installation bracket (order no. 8 601 310 555) (see Fig. 1 page93).For vehicles without a DIN compartment, a universal equipmenthousing has been included (see Fig. 1.1 page 93). Check to seewhich method of installation is required for the vehicle and, ifnecessary, use a vehicle-specific installation kit.When selecting an installation location, you must remember thatthe navigation unit has to be built into the vehicle body.

Installation position:right / left min. -5° / max. +5°slope to the rear 0° / max. +30°

To allow for sufficient air circulation, make sure that the airvents are not blocked. Use only the hole strips to attach theunit to the mounting bolt.

Make sure that there is enough room to insert and remove thenavigation DVD.

Positive connectionConnect the navigation unit to continuous plus and the positiveconnection to the ignition.Lay the continuous plus wire (red) to the battery (do not lay thewire directly along any wire harnesses). Connect a fuse holderto protect the positive wire at a maximum of 30 cm from thevehicle battery (if necessary, drill a hole in the splashback anduse the necessary wire bushing).Connect the switching plus wire (black) to terminal 15 onthe fuse holder (plus is switched by the ignition) behind thefuse.

Negative connection

Screw the negative wire (brown) directly to the vehicle body.Scratch the contact points on the ground down to the metal andgrease it with graphite grease (important for a good ground).

Installing the GPS antenna

Install the antenna according to the enclosed instructions.If the GPS antenna is installed inside the vehicle, there is noguarantee that the system will function properly.


86Installation

Installing the display

Safety instructionsThe display support must never be greased or lubricatedwith oil.The monitor cable must be laid so that it is not subjectedto any tensile strains or other loads.

Important!Do not mount the monitor within the inflation range ofthe airbags (on the driver’s side, the passenger side orthe side airbags) or where it might strike the head or kneesof anyone in the vehicle in the event of an accident!

Before drilling the holes for the mounting screws andwiring, make sure that no damage will be done to cov-ered wiring, the petrol tank or fuel lines!

Installing the display

1. Attach the display support to the display (Fig. 2, Page 93).

Mount the display together with its support onto the dash-board or console (Fig. 3, Page 93).

Connect the cables and run them towards the navigation unit.

Uninstalling the display

1. Press the tab on the plug and carefully pull out the plug (donot pull on the cable) (Fig. 4, Page 93).

2. Push together the lugs on the display support and pull outthe display in an upwards direction (Fig. 4, Page 93).

Installing the control unit

Mount the control unit bracket in a location where the controlunit will be easily accessible, e.g. on the centre console.

Important!Do not mount the control unit within the inflation range of theairbags (on the driver’s side, the passenger side or the side air-bags) or where it might strike the head or knees of anyone in thevehicle in the event of an accident!Before drilling the holes for the mounting screws, make sure thatno damage will be done to covered wiring, the petrol tank or fuellines!Make sure that the vehicle operating elements remain easilyaccessible and are not obstructed in any way (gear stick, handbrake, etc.)!

Note:The “wide screen” monitor is equipped with an integratedinfrared receiver. This means that the supplied receiver forthe RC 09H does not necessarily have to be installed.

Important installation information forthe speedometer signal

When connecting the speedometer signal, make sure toobserve the following information:

1. Where to find the signal: For many vehicles, the speedom-eter signal can be found in the vehicle-specific car radio plug.Contact the customer service of the vehicle manufacturer oran authorised navigation dealer to find out what the exact pinallocation is.


87

2. Do not use the speedometer signal from ABS control units orcontrol circuits.

3. Important:We assume no responsibility for any equipment that is in-stalled incorrectly and the consequences thereof!

Connecting the speedometer signal

Important:This connection should be made by an authorised customer serv-ice centre.

The connection is made with the speedometer signal wire(8 618 841 988) to the vehicle-specific speedometer signal con-nection. (see connection diagram, page 98).

Connecting the back-up lights signalwire

Important:This connection should be made by an authorised customer serv-ice centre.

The connection is made with the back-up lights signal wire(8 618 842 033) to the vehicle back-up lights. Make sure thatthere are +12V at the connection when the vehicle is backing up(see connection diagram, page 98).

Important:We assume no responsibility for any equipment that is installedincorrectly and the consequences thereof!
